Does the rise of McDonald spell the end for Rivers?

RRover quote=Neeld has hand-picked captains and a leadership group he feels will best reflect his footballing ethos moving forward. Let's trust his judgement.

Rover quote=Also, you are underestimating what Watts can become in 2013. We need quick, agile, athletic rebounders. Not old school floating backmen like Rivers IMO.

"What other choice is there"?...to quote Range Rover

Lots of choices I would think...Jones, Clark or Cloke. The thought of these guys playing under Trengove is like Lilley, Marsh and the Chappell's playing under Kim Hughes...actually much worse!

Then he goes on about "real change" . What change RR??

You need to learn how to use the Quote function.

And the point that RR was making is that the coach is the coach and should be, as all coaches are, imbued with all the power that coaches are entitled to.

Players should enjoy no equivalent power, especially if they have a record of failure and poor off-field behaviour.

You may be right there, but room does need to be made on the list and he is yet to break into the senior side.

Well to me, and I have no inside info how he trains etc, he has a lot of attributed you'ld want in an AFL footy player.

I think he's only played 2 seasons, so that is nowhere near enough time to develop properly.

In a Power club like the Hawks of the 80's it was normal for the reserves players to play 100 reserve games, before they became senior players.

Davis is quick by foot, is as hard as a rock & reminds me of a young Gary Ayers. He kicks well most times, mostly when on the move. I've seen him kick some average set shots for Goal.

To me he is a must keep from what I've seen.

I could probably find 10 listed I'd move on before him... He's the future.
